Our romantic cruise down the Rhine was now abruptly over due to the crash. There was a gash in the side of the Viking River Cruise boat, and it could not continue. We were now in Strasbourg and were about to spend a few days there. But, if you are going to be stuck someplace in Europe, Strasbourg is a pretty good place. The city is gorgeous.

CAMERA AND LENS DETAILS LISTED ON THIS BLOG POST IN THE RIGHT COLUMN Our relaxing river cruise has ended before it hardly got started! The Viking Sun, part of the Viking River Cruise line crashed into a structure on the side of the canal at 2:30 in the morning (news article). Our cabin was below the water level, so we went topside where we took these pictures of the damage. We were near Strasbourg, so eventually the boat was evacuated and we were taken to Strasbourg, which was the end of our river cruise. I guess you have to be flexible when you travel, since you never know what is going to happen!!
